What is “Jane” on Apple TV+ about?

 “Jane” is a new 10-episode mission-driven series for kids and families inspired by the work of Dr. Jane Goodall. From Emmy Award winner J.J. Johnson (“Dino Dana”, “Endlings,” “Ghostwriter”), Sinking Ship Entertainment and the Jane Goodall Institute, “Jane” premieres globally on Friday, April 14 on Apple TV+.
Ava Louise Murchison (“Reacher”) stars as Jane Garcia, a 9-year-old budding environmentalist on a quest to save endangered animals. Using her powerful imagination, Jane takes her best friends David, played by Mason Blomberg (“Shameless”), and Greybeard the chimpanzee on epic adventures to help protect wild animals all around the world because, according to her idol Dr. Jane Goodall: “Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, can they be saved.”
Cast also includes Tamara Almeida (“Secrets at the Inn”), Dan Abramovici (“Wayne”), newcomer Jazz Allen and Sam Marra (“Stumptown”).
“I’m excited about this opportunity and relationship with Apple and Sinking Ship. The program ‘Jane’ spreads a message of hope and reminds children that the environment is something that we all have to be concerned about while also inspiring them and their parents to make a difference,” said Dr. Jane Goodall. The show is rated G.

Behind the Scenes of “Jane”

I got the opportunity to talk with stars Ava Louise Murchison and Mason Blomberg in a roundtable with some other bloggers via Zoom. It was fun to learn a bit about them and the making of the show. They are fabulous kids!

During the making of the show, they actually got to meet Dr. Jane Goodall. They met her via Zoom one time and then on the set another time. Both kids are interested in the environment and love what the show represents.

Filming the show allowed the stars to do things out of the ordinary for them, like have an entire grocery store as part of the set, work extensively with CGI, drive a boat down the river in Costa Rica, and stay up very late! Both stars also hope that the show inspires other kids to care about the environment.

One of the most interesting things about the show is that most of the animals featured are actually CGI! The actors had the challenge of trying to make it look natural. After watching the series, it is amazing to see how real everything looks!
